Servings 1 loaf

A jar mix of flour, sugar, powdered milk and salt, topped with bags of onion flakes and yeast. It makes a thoughtful gift for anyone with a bread machine.

Ingredients

1/4 cup dehydrated onion flakes
3 1/3 cups flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon powdered milk
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 3/4 teaspoons active dry yeast

Directions

Put the onion flakes in a small zip bag and set it aside.
Place the yeast in a small zip bag of its own, or use one prepackaged envelope.
Stir the flour, sugar, powdered milk, and salt together and pour into a quart-size jar.
Lay the onion bag and yeast bag on top of the dry mix, then close the jar.
To make it a gift, drape a 9-inch fabric circle over the lid, hold it with a rubber band, and finish with a ribbon bow.

Notes

To bake: 1 1/8 cups warm water (about 110 degrees F), 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Add water and oil to the bread pan in the order your machine recommends; add the dry mix, then the onion flakes and yeast as your machine directs. White bread setting, chosen crust color, rapid or normal cycle, and loaf size; delay timer optional.

Storage: sealed jar in a cool, dry place, best within up to 6 months. Bread wrapped at room temperature 3 to 5 days or frozen (sliced) up to 3 months.
